He did not change the system properties text on purpose. Ask him why. I believe mainly to not confuse members. See below as well...

This is an unofficial sp5 not a real sp5 so it still says sp4.

Again he did this on purpose. I believe mainly as to not break compatibility with windows update, as WU would think your running a newer version of win2k and not offer any updates if I understand that correctly. Again ask him for more details.

Well hope that at least gives you an idea.

Take Care,

Will

not just 'an' idea but THE idea. - sorry im not going to try and find his orriginal post about this in the 62pages counting USP5 thread of where it al started . - but yes it is exactly to prevent it from messing up windows update as wouldn't validate your windows and thus not update it.
